From 2nd- 6th February, 2026 a distinguished delegation from Kenya, comprising the Principal Secretary for Public Service and Human Capital Development, Dr. Jane Kere Imbunya, Chairperson of the KSG Council, Hon. (Rtd) Charles Nyachae, Council Member Linnet Mirehane, Director General Prof. Nura Mohamed, Dr. Prisca Oluoch- Director Linkages and Collaborations as well as Ms. Rose Nduku from the Ministry of Public Service and Human Capital Development participated in an indicative study visit to France focused on institutional collaboration and leadership development.

The visit to France builds on an evolving partnership between KSG and France’s Institut National du Service Public (INSP) with support from the European Union under the TAIEX framework, and the Government of France through the Leadership in Administration (LeAD) Project. It is one of the projected activities that aimed to expose participants to France’s leading public institutions, practices and experts.

The choice of the Kenya School of Government as the implementing institution for this project is well founded – Since inception, the project has recorded significant success and unlocked a wide range of capacity development opportunities for Kenya’s public service through targeted support in curriculum development and pedagogical innovation.

At the centre of this cooperation is the modular Leadership Programme for National Transformation (LPNT) — KSG’s flagship executive training initiative. Now in its third cohort, LPNT has evolved into a robust, internationally benchmarked programme designed to cultivate purposeful leadership that exudes ethical governance, and impact driven results.

The Ministry of Public Service and Human Capital Development, together with the Kenya School of Government, has an ambitious road ahead in responding to the evolving demands and expectations of the citizens of Kenya. It is anticipated that the delegation will draw from the identified best practices in leadership development and public administration, adapting and emulating relevant models within Kenya’s governance context.
